Hope and pray. I've always thought about putting all the non electrical stuff into a pillow case and running it through with a load of laundry

I've heard you can just run these things through the dishwasher. (I'M JUST KIDDING! DON'T PUT YOUR KEYBOARD IN THE DISHWASHER!)

Actually, I've put my keyboard in the dishwasher quite a few times! I disassemble it to get the electronics out (you don't want to wash those) and put the keys into the fork-and-knives rack. Make sure you select a cool cycle (the plastic could deform or melt at the higher temperature cycles) and away you go. Very clean, very easy to do.

hahah you could just get a screwdrivers and take out the screws at the back and inside (ensuring you keep a count of which ones go where) and just use a thin round brush like a kids toothbrush and clean away!!) at the end when you put it back together, just use wd-40 or some cleaner and polish it till theres no dirt, grease marks etc
